Not sure what to say?

Mr. Davidson was a wonderful gentleman to me ... patient ... kind ... and encouraging ... his teaching gave me purpose, direction, and a "place to become better as a person and a musician" in the company of other friends in "Singers 1969-70 and 1970-71 and Choir. His goodness and talent will truly be missed and his legacy will live on in the lives of his students.

Only had one class with Mr. Davidson. But he did me a big favor. He told me I couldn't carry a tune and not to enroll in chorus the following year. He saved me from a life of thinking I could sing. Thanks Mr. Davidson. I went into journalism and have had a wonderful career.

Mr. D easily qualifies as my favorite and most important teacher through three years of Topeka West High School. I remember him as talented, resourceful, and an outstanding teacher of vocal music. I enjoyed singing with him in the later years and will miss him, dearly. Our deepest sympathy and condolences to his family and friends. God bless you, Mr. D.

I graduated in 1975 from TWHS. Mr. Davidson was one of my teachers I had in High School. He was a fantastic teacher and a fantastic person. A class act. I wish all teachers were as great as Mr. Davidson. He inspired all of his students. All that knew him should be proud I know I am. May God Bless

I have never had another teacher in my life who inspired me as much as Mr. D did. I have fun remembrances of our class times together in The porous and Topeka West singers. I graduated from Topeka West in 1974 and he is a teacher I always remembered fondly. He will be missed.

Our sincere sympathy to Forrest's family and friends.
